Today, as the global events and the godless out workings of base (corrupt) man continue at a breakneck speed, the stage is being set for the horrific events on the horizon called The Tribulation Period, or The Day of the Lord (Matt. 24:21-22). The entire world - including America - will be absolutely oblivious to the realities and dire consequences of events to unfold during that time. Ever since the civilization of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9), the world has basically lived in a godless delusion of apathy and subjective narcissism. They have willfully rejected the ETERNAL ordinances of Almighty God and their ultimate accountability to Him. As the terrible calamity of 9-11 overtook, shocked and stunned our nation 10 YEARS AGO, so also will be the commencement of horrific events that are due to transpire in that terrible time called The Day of the Lord.

One of the most sobering passages in the Holy Scripture is from the Book of Proverbs in chapter 1, verses 24-31. This passage speaks about those who willingly reject reality and live in a spiritually/ mentally drunken delusion (Rev. 17:2). When evil and anguish come upon these individuals, they are in a total panic because they have rejected absolutes (reality) and truth (wisdom). The consequences of these actions will be their SWIFT DESTRUCTION on account of their doings. Gods Word States:
"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind (a powerful tornado); when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices" (Proverbs 1:24-31).
So will be the mindset of those during the time when the Day of the Lord commences. These will seek Almighty God to render a godless remedy and an unrighteous solution for their consequences and global dilemmas. What is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING is that in that day of their dire calamity they will STILL REJECT Almighty Gods ETERNAL absolutes, solutions and deliverance (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 9:20-21). These individuals have ZERO heart for the absolute truths and realities of time and ETERNITY which are critical for their ETERNAL well being. They are poisoned with unbelief and godless bitterness; filled with violence and rage. They posses only a godless, monkey-fisted nature rooted in delusion, lust and visions of a temporal (earthly) habitation. They are oblivious to their ETERNAL destiny and WILL NOT repent of their godless transgression and be saved, even after all these horrific tribulation events transpire on the earth. (Isa 24; John 3:17-19; 2 Thess. 2:11-12; Rev. 9:20-21; 16:9).
The shock and awe of the Four Horsemen will awaken the world that the Day of the Lord is finally here!
The shock and awe of the Four Horsemen will awaken the world that the Day of the Lord is finally here (Rev. 6)! As a thief in the night they will ride onto the world stage and ravish and overtake a godless sleeping world (1 Thess. 5:4-11). For as a mighty flood in the night, the world's inhabitant will be swept away in panic, violence and fear; oblivious how to react and what to do. For these have REJECTED Almighty God's warnings and revelations which have gone out from His People and His Word for centuries!
As the days grow darker and the majority of Americans and the world REJECT Almighty God's WARNING, may YOU have an ear to hear what Almighty God testifies to you through His INFALLIBLE Word (Rev. 22:16-21).
The Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!
Those who worship the false gods of Obama, government, and themselves will reap what they have sown.
You’re assuming they have brains. They don’t. They are being led by the liberal democrat party into the abyss. They should not be allowed to vote.
This is the truth and so is this: “ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
[29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
[30] And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
[32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” - Joel 2:28
This is what Simon Peter was referring to on the day of the outpouring of the Spirit on Pentecost. That was just a partial fulfillment. Only God’s people were filled.
Yes that is true, though there will be MANY saved at this time (Day of the Lord)as Rev 7:9-17 states, but at the end of the night time part of the Day of the Lord (the 7 year tribulation)those who have known him will enjoy the day time part of the Day of the Lord -the 1000 year reign of Messiah and those who rejected salvation; ETERNAL damnation Matt. 25:31-46.
Remember also at Christ crucifiction there were many signs in the heavens, earhquakes, dead saints rising etc.. (Matt 27:51-54) That was also part of what Peter was testifing to. Yes my friend, the Holy Spirit is indeed a gift of God to any who place their trust in the Savior and are placed in the body of Christ (the Church)
